Gaudens has chosen the moment when he
is standing before an audience waiting for
silence, looking downward and collecting

kindly cheer and affectionate "reminiscences
be turned in thankfulness to the source Of
all their pleasure and the giver OF all that

the midst -four people and our happiness
let us remember the poor, the needy and
the urfor tunate, and by our gifts OF chart

! /. ~. +
Last Saturday the 22d, the bronze
statue OF Abraham Lincoln was unveiled
and accepted by the city OF Chicago. There
was y great crowd in Lincoln Park, includ-
ing the Mayor, Gen. Terry, and many other
notables. After some addresses, Boom,
boom, reared two of Maj. Woods Battery
D. guns. AS the sound Of the cannon died
away, little ''Abe'' Lincoln stepped up
to the base OF the fae-covered bronzed
figure OF his grandfather and pulled rope
which held the covering. The folds slowly
loosened and dropped down at the base,
and the tall, erect figure OF Abraham Lin
coin hone brightly in the sun which strug-
gled through the clouds at the m oment. A
tremendous shout went up from the 5000
people assembled.
The Grafton was by Hon. Lenord SWEET,
whose intimate political, social and do

have made HIM one OF the best informed
men now living on Lincoln's life. As a

Dairy Schools,

Dairy schools appear to have become
quite popular in Europe. They have
not been tried In this country, and may
not succeed as well here. But, as VIC
recently stated, Lawson Valentine has
started dairy school on the Houghtoa
farm. 1t is announced that number of
students have entered the school, and
quite strong hopes are entertained of its
practical success. We shall watch with
interest for the results. There is need
enough for proper instruction in dairy
ing among the farmers generally. As a
rule, the smaller farmers, who carry
surplus butter to the village stores,
are the most in need of infor
nation how to turn out better
goods. They are probably also tho
most destitute of proper facilities for
successful butter making. Bat it re-
mains to be seen how far this class can
be reached through the establishment OF
dairy schools. They are the ones most
benefited by the creamery, and other
forms of associated dairying. If their
sons and daughters can be induced to
take instructions in dairy schools or
creamcrics, it will not only improve the
quality of farm butter, but add consid-
erably to the farmers incomes. There
is no reason, but Ignorance, why poor
butter should be made. 1t is Just as
easy, aud costs no more to make good
butter, = Prairie Farmer.

Pickles and Sauces.

"Thc use of foreign pickles and
sauces in this country is very small now.
American products have taken their
place"
This was the reply of a wholesale New
York grocer to question from a Mail
ard Express reporter. The reporter
then asked:
Has the fame of the foreign goods
died out2"
''Not exactly; but the American
pickles are fully equal to tn en-, and,
what is of more Importance to consum-
crs, they are much cheaper. You will
remember that at one time no pickle
was thought worth eating unless it bore
the stamp of certain firm in London.
The same may be said of sauces. But
this is all changed. No ono thinks of
asking for the London concerns pickles
now in any ordinary grocery store, and
if anyone should it would be almost i'm
possible to get them. The American
bottle pickles are from thirty-thrcc to
fifty per cent. cheaper to the jobbing
trade, and therefore can be sold at a
lower price to the consumer
"Where arc the pickles prcparcd?'
"They are grown and picked in this
State. At Montrose, N. Y, there is q
pickle factory nearly block in extent.
They are put up in quantities to suit
both family and hotel use"
"What about the sauces9"
"The old English sauces are no longer
on the price lists of large grocery stores.
as better kind can be supplied at from
40 to so per cent. cheaper. That the
latter gives satisfaction is shown by the
fact that it has superseded the foreign
among the wholesale trade and jobbcrs,
besides which the old prcjudices against
anything Amcric has died out. If the
article be equally good, and can be had
cheaper, it will command the trade"

Nightmare Visits an Entire Regiment.

A French physician has recorded q
sery extraordinary cas- in which night
marc attacked an entire regiment of SOL
diers. Doctor Laurent, the physician
in question, said he was surgeon of the
first battalion Of the Latour d'Auvergne
Regiment when it was garrisoned at
Palmi, in Calabria. At midnight in the
month Of June, the order to march with
all possible speed to Tropea, forty miles
away, was given. At seven o'clock on
the following evening Tropea was
reached, scarcely single halt having
been made by the way. The men ar
rived in a pitiful state of exhaustion
and fatigue, in consequence mainly of the
intense heat, but they found their
rations cooked, their quarters prepared,
and, after hearty meal, retired for the
night in an abandoned monastery, a
building much too small for them. They
had to sleep upon heaps of straw, some
in one room, some in others. Just before
occupying their unwholesome quarters
some of the soldiers heard that the
monastery was haunted by demon dog,
aud spread the story from one to an
other, some of them uncomfortably,
most of them merrily. There seemed
little fear of their sleep being disturbed
after such days work as they had
done. But at midnight the deep 81
lence was suddenly broken by loud,
wild cries of terror. The pale soldiers
rushed tumultuously from their chambers
in every direction. and one and all at
once told the same tale of superstitious
terror. One and all had been visited
by the phantom dog. The monastery
was abandoned, and the weary soldiers,
veterans in war and famous for their
bravery, wandered about the town, or
slept in sheds and out-houses, rather
than again face the terrors of what was
undoubtedly a bad attack of nightmare
consequ( Mt upon sleep following an un-
| digested meal taken while in condition

Where Pencil Wood Comes From

1t is not generally known that tho
worlds supply of pencil wood is drawn
from the gulf coast swamps on both
sides of Cedar Keys, and that the pro-
duct of the mills there is shipped not
only to New York and New Jersey fac
tories, but also to Germany and, per-
haps, other countries of Europe. The
industry gives employment to hundreds
of operatives, white and black, and dis
burses large sums of money. That
nothing may be lost, the sawdust is dis
titled in large rctorts, and the oil ex-
tracted, every ounce of which finds
ready sale.
